well... during the day, i have 4 lights on, great temps in every cage (90-92 for BP( 85-88 for BRB ) and my corns are also right around89-91... they are are eating and everything is perfect, BUT at night i shut shut them off and it drops down to around 69 or lower in my snake closet.... i want something i can leave on day and night and still maintain the good temps.

so i was told a infared light i can leave on bc snakes cant see red light?

basically i just want a light i can leave on all day... and please, no UTH comments, i hate them....

I just noticed this post and have the perfect solution.

If it is a closet or small room, simply get a small oil filled radiant space heater from a home supply store and place it in the closet, use a thermostat and bingo, the whole closet stays warm.

Because of the sheer number of snakes I have, it's far more ecinomical for me to maintain the room temperature rather than each cage.

about the only time it sucks is when I have chores to do in there.

I was cleaning out rat cages last night with nothing on but a pair of shorts, and I was sweating like a pig.
